Retire like the rich. Even if you aren’t

How could that be possible? Simply put, things are less expensive in Costa Rica. So while the quality of construction of our homes and condos will exceed U.S. and European standards, material and labor costs will be noticeably less.

And because the cost of living is lower in Costa Rica, you can live quite luxuriously on considerably less than you’d spend to stay at home. Or at some dreary stateside retirement community without a view, with the possible exception of piles of snow.

But perhaps the idea of retiring in another country seems … well … foreign to you. And maybe even a little scary.

Why Caribbean Highlands?

For anyone who’s been there, the answer would be “why not?” There’s a lot to love about Costa Rica.

For openers, there’s the weather. It’s wonderfully warm year-round. And while the climate is described as “tropical,” much of it is tempered by cooling breezes from the Caribbean on the east coast and from the Pacific on the west.
